Warden

Don't get distracted!

The target has been decided. The deadline has been set. All that is left is for you, Adam Finch, assassin extraordinaire, to execute your mission. Success is inevitable. Because you are weapon made flesh, and nothing will stop you from completing your mis- Oh! Look! A story-game!!

There are 5 endings: 'Double kill', 'War in the shadows', 'Retiree rescue', 'Kiss of death' and 'Who let him cook?!'.

Submitted for End Master's Prompt Contest 4 for the prompt of: 'A story involving being an assassin'

Ignis and Aero

Aero, a 14-year-old inhabitant of the village of Albritton, wants nothing more than to read his enthralling storybooks in peace. When he hears of a Golem wandering in the forests near his village, he is more than happy to let the professionals deal with it, while staying within the comfort of his home.

Unfortunately for him, his adventurous brother, Ignis, has other plans.

Author's note: If you want to collect all endings, then there are six of them: The Wise, The Mourner, The Cleaner, The Knight, The Skeptic and The Magician. Certain choices don't have immediate effects but may influence the endings. Also, certain endings can be reached through multiple different paths.

Of dreams and daemons

Most would be willing to trade a great deal to catch a glimpse of what the future holds. Hannah de Reade, however, has spent her time in Lumintrone ignoring the omens that she sees in her prophetic dreams. All she wanted was some semblance of normalcy.

But when her dreams warn her of a daemonic plot, she is compelled to act against it, leading her to be invited as an honored guest to the Imperial Castle.

However, in a court filled with dark secrets, are her eyes that can pierce through fallacies truly a gift or a curse? You will have to take Hannah's side and guide her through this ordeal that will forever change her fate.

And perhaps you will change the fate of Lumina itself in the process.

Author's note: There are nine endings. I highly recommend reaching multiple endings since you may not be able to experience the entirety of the plot with one read. While they are not central to the story, I should also warn that themes of domestic abuse and graphic violence are present in it.

Cyclonis?

Oh yeah, the ice pretzel thing. Eh, whatever, I was making a random guess anyway.

Yummyfood?

You're okay, Avo :] . I mean anyone who comes out of nowhere claiming they're going to write some crazy magnum opus that'll put Shakespeare to shame.

Man... I'm just going to assume that every noob who says they're going to write a longer story is going to use AI. This shit is disappointing.

Sorry, I meant to say commended story game. It gives commendations according to storygame length I believe.

Well, if my story game gets featured, that'll be a boost to my commendation count as well. But I have a feeling, there are going to be a lot of quality stories published this time around. I just hope my work can measure up.

I only bothered with the little correction because shots were fired in the direction of the wardens. Well deserved shots, I suppose but still. XD

*Competency :]

35k for a first story is amazing though. I'll give it a read and review after I'm done with my pending reviews in the review club probably.

I said "top spot among wardens this contest." I have no intention of claiming some abstract title.
